Case Studies

We are proud of Premier Heritages illustrious history as an Independent property surveyor specialising in historic, listed and period properties and as such have a library of Case Studies that we are confident will show the skills and expertise we have to offer in the correct diagnosis of damp, rising damp, condensation and timber decay, dry rot, woodworm, structural damage and more. To find out more about how Premier Heritage have helped Commercial and Domestic clients with the preservation of their historic, listed and period buildings please select from the Case Studies below:

Let Me Breath!– One of the mains causes of dampness problems in period buildings is due to the introduction of cement based renders and modern paint systems.

Don’t Smother It – Uncover It !– Premier Heritage were contracted to undertake a detailed measured survey and prepare / design a specification of works to provide a basement water proofing system beneath a detached Grade II Farmhouse.

Tonedale Textiles Mill– Premier Heritage are pleased to have been appointed to undertake Timber and Damp surveys of the former Tonedale Textiles Mill in Wellington, Somerset.

Rising Damp – v – Penetrating Damp (A case of Misdiagnosis)– This semi-detached, 1930’s, ex local authority house is brick built with walls of conventional cavity construction (rendered externally) and retains a physical damp proof course. The property has been subjected to past refurbishment and had been cavity insulated (polystyrene beads) and fitted with Upvc double glazed replacement windows.
